"Food for me was a connecting link to my grandmother, to my childhood, to my past. And what I found out is that for everybody, food is a connector to their roots, to their past in different ways. It gives you security; it gives you a profile of who you are, where you come from." - Lidia Matticchio Bastianich

Note -
1. If you want you can steam cluster beans before adding to the tempering. In that case, cooking time is drastically reduced.
2. 1/4 cup dry kala vatana will give about 3/4 cup sprouts. You need to soak them overnight, and then sprout them as mentioned here.
